The TRADE is a quarterly publication focused on the business of institutional global securities trading. While the last five years have seen dramatic changes in what traders do and how they do it, The TRADE assists all involved in three important ways.

They have agreed with Global Securities Consulting Services and Data Explorers that they will provide the magazine with important statistics in the areas of transaction measurement and securities finance. Second, The TRADE has a team of highly regarded financial journalists who will not simply be reporting. They will be writing articles that analyze what is happening and why by talking with senior industry figures and opinion leaders from all areas of the trading business. Lastly, The TRADE intends deliberately to stimulate debate in key development areas: the success (or lack thereof) of crossing, the real or assumed benefits of algorithmic trading, and the finer points of OMSs.

Wall Street Letter (WSL) serves as your window to the Street. It is the only publication that keeps Wall Street informed of what's happening inside their community—trading firms, exchanges, and every corner of the market including research, securities, dealers, retail brokerages, and regulators. In addition, WSL now includes extended coverage from Operations Management, featuring back-office issues of broker/dealers, investment adviser firms and custodian banks. This increased coverage dovetails with the increasing emphasis on harmonizing and streamlining a firm's securities processing business, from the front to back office, and a greater emphasis on clearing and technology businesses among exchanges.
